2007 DODGE DAKOTA Air Bags Problems

The manufacturer sent a third party to fix an airbag recall. Before the third-party technician touched my truck for the recall, both my horn and cigarette lighter worked. Now, after their repair, neither works. Therefore, something they did caused an electrical fault. I advised whoever sent the technician and they said they would send the guy back. No one will answer my calls and no one has fixed my issue.

NO RETURN CALL FROM DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ONE DEALER SAID THEY WILL CALL BACK IF PARTS IN STOCK NO CALL BACK

I HAVE REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR MY DODGE DAKOTA'S RECALL. INITIALLY I CONTACTED HUNTINGTON BEACH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AND WAS TOLD THAT MY NAME WOULD BE PLACED ON A LIST AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED. NOTHING! I THEN CONTACTED COURTESY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ORANGE COUNTY. FINALLY HAD THE FIRST RECALL REPAIRED, BUT NOT THE MARCH 2016 AIR BAG RECALL. I HAVE CALLED AND CONTACTED THE SECOND DEALER SINCE MARCH 2016 TO REPAIR THE AIR BAGS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME THAT THE DEALER HAS NO PARTS, BUT THAT THEY WILL CALL ME. IT HAS NOW BEEN ONE YEAR...AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN CALLED....BY EITHER DEALER. HELP!!

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED NOTICE S43 / NHTSA 16V-352 ON JULY 18, 2016. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. THIS IMPOSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER THAT AN INFLATOR RUPTURE COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I AM ESPECIALLY CONCERNED THAT SINCE I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME THAT THE AT RISK CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. WHAT CAN THE DOT DO TO SEE THAT THESE PARTS ARE EXPEDITED FOR THOSE OF US LIVING ON THE TEXAS GULF COAST? *TR
